Fantasy Dross World Cup

[Elite of the forum]

Im looking for my dutch players to bore the hell out of the argies and keep a clean sheet then score a winner from Van persie

[Ronnietheblue]

That'd do for me

[DaveW]

I was going to trade in 2 players to buy Messi but don't think the system would allow it

[Ronnietheblue]

No Dave it won't. 1 out 1 in it. Seems

[Elite of the forum]

Same old cockenees always cheating 

[DaveW]

Shrewd I would say

[admin]

Now the forum is (sort of) back in action.....

I need Muller - without the 'E' to score a few in the final otherwise I've no hope.

[Ronnietheblue]

Not as much as I need Muller to score for you, my life's unbearable at the moment

[admin]

You've just doubled the Jolly Good Sports Fanclub.

Hopefully the 11th man will make the difference on Sunday.

[Ronnietheblue]

You've both got as I see it Rojos, Mertesacker and Messi. Your exception is Muller.
Lisa's exceptions are Romero, Ozil and Goetze. If Romero keeps a clean sheet all over. Having said that if Aguerra gets a hat trick and Kroos scores, could pip you both.

[admin]

Yup. That's the way I see it.

It's Muller time or bust.

[Ronnietheblue]

I'm presuming the 3rd v 4th Brazil v Holland, won't count for anything.

[admin]

Now that's an interesting thought.

No idea.

[admin]

For those asking: Players who play in the World Cup third-place play-off will still be awarded points as normal. And no, there will be no more transfers before the final on Sunday. So these two are stuck in half of your teams.

Now I've no idea what scenario would suit me.

[Ronnietheblue]

Doesn't seem fair that, it is after all a pretty meaningless game. I got rid of my Brazilians, thinking Germany would win. Bob will be happy tho

[Elite of the forum]

Its how many off them will play /can be bothered to play scenario

[admin]

Loads of people rightly complaining on that facebook page.

Fifa's website had their version of Fantasy and looking at the rules it seems a better scoring system.

You initially pick a 23 man squad and can sub at any time.
Assists etc are counted.

For those of us who are still around in 4 years I recommend Fifa's over The Sun's.

That's what I like, forward planning, count me in.....hopefully

[Elite of the forum]

it was the best at the time ,i usually avoid the suns fantasy football as its CRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAP  but needs must as they say

[Ronnietheblue]

we could ignore it, and i'll make a note of everybodies points and add on final ones, but you wont want that will you Bob

[admin]

Watching 8 out of 10 cats Does Countdown the other day.
The prize was a leather jacket with the slogan on the back "Countdown Till I Die" - Had to laugh.

[Ronnietheblue]

LOL yeah I saw that. You see Rachel Riley and Suzie Dent in a whole new light.
BTW Admin is now finally accepted as a drosser, talk about wandering off topic Welcome aboard the good ship dross

[admin]

Thank you for the honour. 

I wasn't completely off topic though - it was more of an aside - I was referring to my own comment

For those of us who are still around in 4 years I recommend Fifa's over The Sun's.

and Ronnie's reply.

That's what I like, forward planning, count me in.....hopefully

[Ronnietheblue]

Nice to see you up to second Bob

[Elite of the forum]

Best i can hope for is a third place 

[Ronnietheblue]

Think Lisa's won it now.

[Elite of the forum]

I think so too

[Ronnietheblue]

Unless Aguera scores 4

[Elite of the forum]

Clutching at straws there i think

[DaveW]

It all went pear shaped for me. Shouldn't have allowed any transfers at all.
